Default Max boost for a cosworth 2.9?

I`m running a cosworth v6 engine on standard compresssion (9.7 to 1 I believe) , with sequential twin turbo. (T3, ihi RHB5 turbos).


What I want to know is what is the maximium boost i can run safely, i have been told 8psi. Anyone here running a turbo V6 on standard compression?

I will set my display to inject water at 4psi 35C.
If I set water injection to be on regerdless of temp at say 7 psi for detonation control will I be able to up the boost much?
I plan to use 0.6mm water jet at 100psi.

Thanks
Darren

I will run a charge cooler so the intake temps should be low, about 30C.
If i do decide to lower the compression can anyone recommend where to go for pistons, or anyone who makes custom rods?
Thanks
